TAYLOR SIZED UP.

MIR. Frank j. Carpenter, the
Washington correspondent of the

pondence of Dec, l4th, says the
following:
The Liberian Mission is still
practically vacant. The salary is

of another gentleman, an employe
at the Supreme Court, is not in the
Jefferson school There are bar
ber shops in West Washington,
Capital Hill and intact throughout
the city, kept by colored men who
refuse to shave their own color.
We also call the attention of the
colored people to establishments
kept by white people, who refuse
to employ our girls and boys as
salesmen, and printing offices,
who refuse to employ a colored
man as printer, but still the col
ored people continue to patronize
them. Now if they were to pa
tronize their own establishments,
this prejudice would be eliminated.
This would be doing something
practical, and for the races benefit.
But there can be nohing derived
from eating houses by entering
suits against the proprietors, we
only satisfying the stomach,
whereas on the other hand, if we
would boycott these places on 7th
street and Pennsylvania avenue,
and support our own in
stitutions, we would be putting
money in our pockets, which
would enable the raea to advance
and strengthen individuals financi-
ally. Let US be more independent;
let us withdraw our support from
those who don't want US, and sup.
port ourselves, and you will find
out that this will be the best civil
rights law that can be enacted.
So far as mixed schools are con.
cern, the masses of the people are
opposed to them.
There is only one thing needed
to make our schools equal with
the white, so far as convenience is
concerned, and that is, place all OF
the schools under one superinten-
dent with an assistant, and we
don't know Of a better man tC
place in charge of all the schools
than Mr.. Powell, the present SUI
perintendent.
First, brake down the barrier
which is up held by us, and then
ask the courts to eliminate this
discrimination practiced by the
whites.

TODYISM.

In the address of Mr.. Douglass
delivered at the reception tender
ed to Messrs. Arthur O'conner and
Thos. III @. ESmonds, members OF
the British Parliament at the Ma.
sonic Temple on Wednesday
night, be concluded his speech by
saying, "That / am not going to
speak any longer, | thank you for
letting me sit on the platform with
these white people" A more
humiliating utterance could not
have been made by an English
serf or an American slave. We
would like to ask Mr.. Douglass
whether he thought it an honor TO
be among a class OF irishmen who
have no love for the Negro? The
irish people have no love for the
oppressed negro, and before long
the American people will be con-
fronted with this qeustion. Ameri-
ca is making England her enemy
by adhearing to a policy which
will tend to the Obstruction of the
American republic.

COLOR PREJUDICE.

We had occasion to speak brief
ly last week in regard to the civil
rights case of Mr.. K. M. Hewlett
and while We are in sympathy
with him, we are opposed to bis
modus operandi, when there are
so many colored people vino prac
tice the very thing which Mr.. Hew
lettis endeavering to eliminate,
There is a certain class of coIored
people in this community who car
ry their prejudice in the church
the pulpit, the school and socla
circle. We know cases to have.
existed where ministers were too
black for the congregation; school
teachers too dark for others to as
sociate with, and pupils of coIored
parents too light to go to a coLorea
school. Colored BARRIERS, who con-
duct shops especially for white
men, will not have any of this
amalgamated class, for fear it
will terd to iniure their bus
iness.
There are some black men, who
have become disgusted with fe-
males of their own color aud have
married some common or second
class white women, simply be-
cause they are white. Every day
there are cases of negroes whc
are endeavering to leave the race,
because they want TO ally them
selves with some second class
white person The masses of the
colored people are adhearirg to
their Races identity, while a few
others are attempting to hide their
race identity. The moment a ne
gro does that, he loses the respect
ofthe people. We know of cases
now, where there are colored chill
dren going to white schools, but
they are so near white that you
cannot distinguish them from
white children. There are two
colored children in the Franklin
school, aud several in the Jefferson
school in South Washington. The
fact OF the matter is, that the pa
rents of those children are quite
light, hence they naturally have a
dislike for colored children and
colored schools. We don't ask
you to take this statement on its
face, but visit these schools your
selves and ask if a certain physi-
clans children are pupils in the
franklin school and the children

The board of school trustees that
met on last Tuesday evening, con
sidered the protest of the citizens
against the renting of the Mary
Hall building in an indirect manner.
That is, the protest that came from
the citizens meeting, and carried to
the Commissioners and transmitted
to the School Board by them, was
Indirectly brought up in the school
board on motion of DIR. Francis,
with no reference to the petition OF
the citizens. TIE hoard, by ma
jority vote, decided to rent the
Mary Hall building against the
protest of the people. We think
that it is about time for the people
to give these public servants to
understand that they cannot act
contrary to the wishes of the people,
in renting house for school pur-
poses in a disreputable part of the
city. The action of the school
board is an insult to the people and
a rebuke to the petition. There is
but one thing for the citizens to do,
and that is to carry their appeal
TO CONGRESS
and call upon parents not to allow
their children to 60 to the Mary
Hall building. Let it be understood
that the people are above the Com
missioners and tie board of school
trustees that they cannot place
respectable colored children in a
disreputable part of the city, sur
rounded by harlots and rum mills.
1t is hoped that every minister in
the city will urge the parents of
colored children, not to allow their
children to go to this building. The
UOdTu of SUhuUl u uotCCs HIay Have
the power to rent disreputable
place for the colOred children, but
the colored people have the author
ity to prevent their children from
attending, which they will do until
Congress or some one will releave
the people. The people expected
better treatment from Messrs. Oar
lington and Ross, but didn't expect
anything else from Mr.. Fish, who
seems to be controlled by prejudice
and the protest of few mario "
minded white people in the vacinity
of the Miller building. Let there
be monster mass meeting called
and have an appropriate committee
appointed to lay this matter before
Congress.
In the suspension of Principal
Brown, the school board acted like
a lot of children. For the length of
time Mr.. Brown was out, he had
better been let alone, and not been
suspended at all.
The time is almost at hand for
the calling of the Central Republic
can Committee. We don't know
of a man more qualified for the
Craftsmanship Of that Committee,
than Mr.. E. w. Whitaker.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH

1t is question of serious consid-
Grafton, whether the votes of the
colored men in the south are to
be fairly counted at al State ard
| National elections, or are they to
be subjected to The unfairness
of the democratic party? 1t is no
use to attempt TO deny the fact,
that the Colored people in the
South are not being mistreated,
and the Federal administration, as
it always has been, even under re-
publican rule, powerless to pro-
-tect them. 1t is, therefore ques-
tion to. be wisely considered by
both political parties, whether the
suppression of the colored vote is
to be continued or whether the
eolored man is to exercise the elec-
tive franchise guaranteed by the
Constitution.
We know there are negroes
who are the emissaries of the dem
ocratic party for self aggandize-
ment, and we are confident that
after they have been used, they
are disregarded & mistreated. No
honest democrat has any respect
for a negro who declares that a
thing Is right when they know il
is wrong, although it is to his in.
terest. A negro who will sacrifice
his people for self intere est, Is 6
knave and traitor. There is but
one question to be considered anC
that is, the colored people of the
South. The very law that woulc
have protected the negro in the
south, was defeated by Mr.. James
@. Blain, VINO called upon the ne
groes Of the south to aid him il

because Mr.. Blaine defeated the

two evils the colored people should
take the lesser.

can he be elected?
The Colored people are divided

ed man does not want him, and
neither is he in love with the
democratic party, We hope that
the republican convention will
not make any mistake. A man
should be nominated who will
relieve the suffering Negroes in
the South. The bill of Hon. w.
E. Chandler is just the thing to
force fair elections in the South
and it is hoped that Congress will
take immediate action on if.

In the center of the tobacco ware
houses at the London docks there is an
immense kiln, which is kept continually
burning, day and night, and goes by the
name of the Queens tobacco pipe. The
English Government has different way
of treating confscated articles than.th
in use in this country, one Of them being
to utilize them as fuel for what is termed
the Queens smoking. Whenever mer-
chandise is seized for non-payment OF
duty, or because it is considered under
the law as in damaged or unstable con-
dition, it is taken to this great kiln and
burned there, the owners having no
remedy. The only utilization that is
made of these seizures is from the sale
of the ashes from the furnace, which, to
the amount of a great many tons
month, are sold by auction to chemical
works, and to farmers and others to be
used in enriching the soil. There Is
similar but smaller Queens tobacco pipe
in the Government tobacco warehouses at
Liverpool, these two forming the points
of destruction for all con6scated merchan.
disc in the United Kingdom.
